Why are the hottest and coldest places on earth over land, not over water?

Physics

mafiozo [28]3 years ago

Because the heat capacity of water is very high, meaning that it can absorb a big amount of energy (heat) while its temperature increases less than what it does in other bodies that have lower heat capacities.

In terms of equations:

Q α Cp * ΔT => ΔT is inversely related to Cp => if Cp is higher ΔT is lower.

An amplifier has a 50 watt output and a 5 watt input. what is the gain in decibels for this amplifier, rounded to the nearest de
Marrrta [24]
Gain in decibels is given by;

Gain db = 10*log (Po/Pi), where Po = Power output, Pin = Power input

Substituting;

Gain in db = 10 * log (50/5) = 10 db

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 8.00cm on each side and 4.20mm apart. The space between the plates is comp
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

U=1.29\times 10^{-7}\ J

Explanation:

Given that

a= 8 cm (square)

A= a ² = 64 cm²

d= 4.2 mm

d₁= 2.1 mm  ,K₁= 4.7

d₂=2.1 mm  , K₂=2.6

We know that capacitance given as

C_1=\dfrac{K_1\varepsilon _oA}{d_1}

C_1=\dfrac{4.7\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-3}}

C_1=1.26\times 10^{-10}\ F

C_2=\dfrac{K_2\varepsilon _oA}{d_2}

C_2=\dfrac{2.6\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-3}}

C_2=0.701\times 10^{-10}\ F

Net capacitance

C=\dfrac{C_1C_2}{C_1+C_2}

C=\dfrac{1.26\times 10^{-10}\times 0.701\times 10^{-10}}{1.26\times 10^{-10}+0.701\times 10^{-10}}\ F

C=4.5\times 10^{-11}\ F

We know that stored energy given as

U=\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

V= 76 V

U=\dfrac{4.5\times 10^{-11}\times 76^2}{2}\ J

U=1.29\times 10^{-7}\ J
